Blog Announcement

I've always promised myself that once I lost passion for writing blog posts, I would take a hiatus. Well, that time has come. 

 I think most bloggers go through a stage where they are just not "feeling it", I've been there in the past, more than once, but because it only lasts for a short time, the passion comes right back. 

 Unfortunately, I've felt uninspired to a certain degree for some time. I just feel like I'm writing the same drivel, and I think you, my reader, deserves better content.

 I still enjoy playing with makeup, and sharing my love of beauty products. So, for the time being, I believe Instagram is the best platform for me to do this. If you don't follow me, and would like to, just search @indie_ana1 to find me. 

 I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support. I've met some wonderful ladies and of course will continue to interact with ya'll on your blogs or on Insta.

 I won't make any promises about returning, but I wouldn't be surprised if I miss the world of blogging and come back to my little space.

 Much love to you! xx

    I'm sorry to hear, I've stumbled across some great sounding skincare from your blog!
    It shouldn't be a chore so if the enjoyment isn't there then it's the right choice for you.
    I love seeing your pretty face pop up in my IG feed x

    My darling Indie, drivel? Oh please! LOVE your insightful, fun and informative posts - for one thing, you've been my main inspiration (and enabler) for growing my perfume collection, not to mention my makeup and skincare discoveries. But I understand completely, and hope that the flame re-ignites in you in the not too distant future. Meanwhile I shall stalk your Instagram account for my much needed dose of gorgeous looks, colours and "Indie" products. Take care my lovely, and see you there ♥

    Oh nooooo Indie! You've always been one of my favourite bloggers to read & no, you don't write drivel at all! I fully understand why you're taking time out - if you're not feeling inspired, then it's hard to keep the fire stoked. I hope that you can re-ignite the flame at some stage, but I know I'll (probably) see you around on BH anyway (since I don't have Insta...yet).

    I thought I hadn't seen any posts from you recently despite still seeing your IG posts so I came here looking for you. I know, I'm obviously a bit late, but I've been a bit preoccupied myself with my daughter undergoing surgery recently (she'a all good now). Just letting you know that I never saw your posts as drivel, I always enjoyed them, but if you weren't enjoying writing them I'm glad you decided to have a break! Fingers crossed you regain your passion for blogging, but regardless do what's right for you. Ingrid x

    I totally know where you are coming from. I had the same feeling at the beginning of the year and it took me a month and a half to come back but I still dont feel as passionate as I used to!

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
